ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the example of The Scouts in the United Kingdom, as part of the global scouting movement, and its moral geographies of citizenship training over the last century. Drawing on data from original archival research, two key examples from the early twentieth century are discussed to illustrate the organisation's values-based ideology and performances in outdoor spaces: first, camping; and second, the 'Scout Farm'. The chapter analyses how camping and the Scout Farm in the early twentieth century were used to create governable citizen-subjects and encourage good, clean and moral citizens. The emergence of British youth movements was a curious phenomenon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Perhaps surprisingly, many of these voluntary uniformed organisations are still active today providing structured activities for children and young people living in the United Kingdom.
